PRUD’HOMME BEER
CERTIFICATION® MILESTONES
In 2009, Thirst For Knowledge Inc.® launched Canada’s first beer certification program. This multi-level beer education series of courses are designed specifically for those who want to quench their thirst for more information within the world of beer. The course content and curriculum is driven by input from industry insiders and former participants. The ultimate goal is to provide the best-in-class beer experiences to our students.
Louis Prud’homme was Canada’s first licensed brewer in 1650 and it seemed only fitting that the father of brewing in Canada be honoured by naming this certification program after him.
Prud’homme®, whether facilitated in person or on-line, is a fun, interactive learning program designed with the participant’s best interest at heart. I welcome you to explore the four distinct levels and invite you to join me in the journey of a lifetime.
Cheers,
